Chapter 24: Lake Town
Roning has accumulated 220 energy essence points. The reason why he didn't use them to improve McKen's strength was to wait for the light magician to come out and upgrade him directly.
It takes 150 energy points to upgrade a magician from the primary to the intermediate level, which is 50 points more than the knight's upgrade at the corresponding stage.
As these energy essences were invested, Elron's attribute panel changed -
[Elrond Faol]: Intermediate Magician· Light (0/300) +
In just a few breaths, Elrond has walked a path that other magicians may not walk in several years.
"Sir, this is me..." He was so shocked that he was speechless.
Roning waved his hand. "This is my special ability. Remember to keep it secret for me. Don't reveal any information to anyone else except McKen."
Elrond slowly recovered from his shock, "May the Light be with you, my lord. I will remember your gift and teachings!"
This guy spoke only a few sentences, and he had already said, "May the light be with you" twice, which sounded a bit like a charlatan.
"Well, Elrond, do you have any other magic?"
"Yes!" Elrond was very sure, "After I became an intermediate magician, the healing technique came into my mind."
Hearing this, Luo Ning smiled happily.
Having healing skills is in line with the characteristics of a light magician in his mind.
"How is the healing effect?" he asked.
"General sword damage can be treated, but more serious ones may need to be released more times."
Elrond said: "However if the injury is too severe and affects the bones and internal organs, the effect of the healing spell will be greatly weakened."
Luo Ning nodded slowly. Although it couldn't cure all diseases, it was already very good to be able to treat common knife wounds.
In order to witness the effect of the healing technique with his own eyes, Roning picked up the sword and gently cut a wound on his little finger. Bright red blood immediately flowed out. Not to mention, it was quite painful.
"Sir, what are you doing?" Elrond asked in surprise.
"Come, let's use the healing technique to treat it!"
Only then did Elron realize that Ronin was trying to test the effectiveness of the healing spell.
"My Lord, you could have cut my finger just now!"
While regretting that he did not realize his master's intention in advance, he quickly placed his palm on the bleeding finger.
Soon, a ray of Light fell on the wound.
Luo Ning only felt the wound warm and itchy, and then he saw it healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It took only five seconds to go from bleeding to scabbing and then back to being as good as new!
"Not bad!"
After seeing it with his own eyes, Roning was even more satisfied with the effects of the healing technique.
He believed that with Elrond around if the territory guards were injured in battle, they would not be disabled or even die due to backward medical conditions.
In Ronin's eyes, Elrond was like a marching doctor.
The only regret is that Elrond does not master any offensive type of magic.
The cheering spell, flash spell, and healing spell are all auxiliary in nature. On the battlefield, Ronin is a little worried about their safety.
After some more communication, Ronin had a more comprehensive understanding of Elrond.
He went outside the tent, asked Chahar to get him some hot water to get the servant away, and then brought Elrond to Macon.
"Macken, this is your new friend, Elron Faol. Take him to familiarize himself with the current situation and then arrange camping for tonight."
"Remember, don't tell anyone that Elrond is a magician for now. Just say he's my friend."
"Yes, sir!"
As Macken responded, he looked him up and down, then saluted like a knight, "Macken Sallyton, nice to meet you!"
"May the light be with you, warrior!"
Luo Ning laughed and went back to the tent to rest.
There were no attacks from wild beasts tonight, so it passed peacefully.
The next morning, after breakfast, Roning did not let the guards train but set off at full speed to escort the Green siblings to Lake Town.
Lake Town is on the way to Shanlin Town, close to the Horse Herding City, so it is not considered a detour for Roning.
Just like that, after another day and a half, Roning and his group finally entered Green Territory.
They set out on the 4th, and it is now noon on the 9th. It took them five days to get here, which is not fast.
"Brother Luo Ning, if we continue along this road for another ten miles, we will reach Lake Fort."
During this day and more, although Marina did not suggest going into the tent again, she still sat with Roning whenever she had time.
Fortunately, this guy's sprained foot has not healed completely; otherwise, Roning might not even have any personal space.
"The scenery in Lake Town is pretty good." He praised casually.
Since entering Green Territory, there have been more streams and ponds on both sides of the road, and Roning even saw people fishing in the water.
Green water and green mountains make you feel like you are back home on Earth.
However, as the convoy passed through the lake town, the sanitation issue was still quite prominent.
But this time, Roning was not surprised and would not ask stupid questions like why the other party did not manage hygiene.
Lake Fort is not located on the lake, but like Wushan Fort, it is on a hill several miles away from the city.
Although the castle's walls, wooden spikes outside the walls, gullies, and other defensive fortifications are not as grand and solid as Wushan Fort, they have everything.
Before the team entered the castle, a group of cavalry came galloping and blocked the way.
"Stop!" the tall knight shouted with a strong warning.
However, when he saw the Wushan family emblem on the carriage, his tone became more tactful.
"I wonder which master from the Wushan family came to Lake Town?"
When a noble visits, servants will usually hand out visiting cards first.
It is rare to see someone appear outside other noble castles with a convoy of soldiers and horses without a visiting card.
"Uncle, it's us!" Marina poked her head out of the carriage.
"Ms. Marina? Master Malik is here too!"
The knight was stunned for a moment, then immediately rode over and asked, "Why are you here?"
Kane, who had lost his horse, stumbled from the back to the front, crying bitterly and saying:
"Lord Andrea, our knight team was assassinated, and Captain Noel unfortunately died in the battle! If it weren't for Lord Roning's rescue, the young master and young lady would have had a hard time surviving!"
Knight Andrea's face changed drastically. How could such a thing happen suddenly?
Considering the safety of the trip, he had arranged for a team of knights to pick up Malik and the other man, but he didn't expect that the entire team would be almost wiped out.
"How are the master and the young lady? Are they injured?" Andrea asked hurriedly.
Malik walked out of the car with gauze still wrapped around his arm, but his injury was much better than before.
"We suffered some minor injuries, but they are relatively minor. We should be fine after two days of recovery."
Malik raised his hand towards Ronin and introduced him, "This is the descendant of the Wushan family, Baron Ronin of Shanlin Town. Thanks to him, we are lucky enough to survive this time."
Andrea finally came out of his worried mood and looked at Roning seriously.
In fact, what happened to the Wushan family and the Hyde family had already spread to the territories of the vassal states in the past few days. Some people were secretly mocking Wiggins and Ronin.
Andrea also scoffed when she heard the news.
But that was a private matter. In public, he would still express respect to Roning when he saw him and would not easily give him a hard time for the sake of his face.
What's more, Roning has now saved the Green family's bloodline, as well as his nephew and niece.
Knight Andrea gave Ronin a formal knight's salute, "Andrea sends his regards; I'm sorry for my misbehaviour just now; I really didn't expect that the young master and young lady would be assassinated."
He bowed deeply again and said, "Thank you for your rescue!"
"Greetings to you, Sir Andrea."
Roning smiled in response, "The Green family is a vassal of the Wushan family, and I have the blood of the Wushan family flowing in my veins. It is my duty to rescue Malik and the others."
He paused for a moment and then asked, "I heard from Kane that Baron German was injured in this battle. I wonder how he is now?"
Andrea replied: "Thank you for your concern. Sir Gehrman's injury is almost healed."
Malik and Marina were both a little worried. They only heard that the man had a chest injury and had to rest in bed, but they didn't know how serious the injury was. When they listened to their uncle say that the injury was almost healed, they felt relieved.
Marina said, "Lord Ronin and his uncle, let's go back to the castle first."
"Yes, miss!"
Andrea signalled his men to return to the castle to report first, then turned his horse sideways to make way for Ronin's team to advance.
Ronin searched for information about Baron German Green in his mind.
This person seemed to have bronze-level strength, which was not low among the barons.
"I saved his son and daughter. What does he want to say?"
